- AAnthonySan Francisco Bay Area •9 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoWe really enjoyed our dining experience. It took a while before water was brought to the table and we could order our drinks. But we just went to the buffet and began dinner. There were so many appetizers and entrees. All were delicious: prime rib, salmon, turkey, ribs, and chicken were amazing. The sides and appetizers were numerous and delicious. And it was a great value. There was something for everyone. As we finished, we agreed to repeat the experience.More infoMacArthur Park - Palo AltoPrice: Moderate• American• Palo Alto•4.1
